Cortland Men Register 168-121 Dual Win at Oneonta

Patrick Kivlehan won the 1,000-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle
ONEONTA, N.Y. – Cortland turned in first-place showings in nine events and both relays on its way to a 168-121 men's swimming and diving dual meet victory at Oneonta. Cortland wraps up the regular season next Saturday at 1 p.m. when it hosts Fredonia in a meet that was originally scheduled to be on the road.
 
Patrick Kivlehan (Highland Mills/Monroe-Woodbury) won the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:57.05) and 500-yard freestyle (5:19.27), Ethan Domanico (New Windsor/Newburgh Free Academy) was the winner in the 200-yard freestyle (1:49.29) and 100-yard butterfly (55.51), and Mason Arnberg (Dix Hills/Half Hollow Hills East) won the 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.59) and the 200-yard individual medley (2:05.38), the latter as an exhibition entry. Ryan Lerner (Washingtonville) won the 100-yard breaststroke (1:04.86) and Sean Zupko (Montgomery/Valley Central) won the 200-yard backstroke (2:05.53). Zupko was second in the 200-yard freestyle (1:51.94).
 
The combination of Jake Bogen (Poughkeepsie/Spackenkill), Arnberg, Domanico and Sam Zani (Rochester/Irondequoit) won the 400-yard medley relay (3:47.50), while the foursome of Michael Falcone (Massapequa), Mo Diarra (Harlem/East Side Community), Arnberg and Aiden Poli (Cortland/Home schooled) was victorious in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:32.35) as an exhibition entry.
 
With no 3-meter event, the 1-meter competition was broken down and scored as two parts. Lance Meeson (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) won one section with 177.68 points and was second in the other section with 267.37 points for a combined 11-dive score of 445.05 points. He met the NCAA qualification standard for the third time this year. Meeson already qualified for regionals when he met the standards for the second time last Sunday at the Ithaca College Dick Comanzo Diving Invitational, winning the 1-meter (438.20 points) and 3-meter (425.80 points) events that day.
 
Cortland swept the top three spots in three events. In the 100-yard breaststroke, Lerner's win was followed by Hunter Sugrue-Neuendorf (Valley Cottage/Nyack) in second (1:05.06) and Ian Murray (Auburn/Southern Cayuga) in third (1:06.91). In the 200-yard breaststroke, Arnberg's win was backed up by Lerner in second (2:23.90) and Sugrue-Neuendorf in third (2:27.09). And in the 200 IM, with Cortland officially swimming exhibition, Arnberg's victory was followed by Domanico in second (2:10.36) and Nick Dambra (Brockport) in third (2:11.37).
